The Copenhagen summit on the Climate Change was dominated by the BASIC<\/b> (Brazil, America, South Africa and China)<\/i> countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>Some say, as the opposition in India, that the developing countries and India have given up a lot in the name of environment.\u00a0 Others, however, claim that Copenhagen agreement was so diluted that it will not be much useful.\n
<\/p> Lets be clear as to why are we even discussing all this?\u00a0 The pollution and the subsequent climate change is a symptom of the way we have chosen to look at our relationship with Nature and the Universe, and therefore our paradigm of Science itself.\n
<\/p> Not using distilled water bottles or becoming vegetarian will slow<\/i> down the march towards mutual destruction, but it would not eliminate the eventuality.\u00a0 To have a sustainable lifestyle and a planet that is available even to 100 generations down the line, we have to make sure that our footprint on the planet is almost zero.\u00a0 This entails a completely different way of thinking and living.\n
<\/p> The current Western Science foundation was laid in the 17th and the 18th centuries, often called \"Age of Reason\" as opposed to the \"Age of Faith\" of the Middle Ages.\u00a0 Science or Reason was taken to be antithetical to Religion.\u00a0 So, Science tried to \"outdo God\" from the get-go.\u00a0 The premise was \u2013 if man can create something out of plain widgets, then the question of God does not arise.\u00a0 If one, for example, could explain how electrical ions lead to lightening and thunder, then it is not a doing of a \"3rd party\" called God.\u00a0 That is why, in Modern Scientific era we ended up re-creating what nature gave for free, just so that we could control the level of our comfort, even if it meant living indoors and having a synthetic body.\u00a0 From ACs to plastics to toothpastes to even flu shots \u2013 we have been fighting a \"God\" which served as an unfortunate alibi for Nature itself.\u00a0 We did not learn to harness the nature\u2026 to borrow from the nature.\u00a0 We instead wanted to dominate nature.\n
<\/p> Whether one uses more fuel efficient cars or not is not material when it comes to sustainable living on the planet.\u00a0 Even what the BEST Environmental experts are doing is merely straightening the deck of the Titanic!\u00a0 The part of the iceberg that hit it is not what appears and is visible in our daily lives.. but in our minds!\u00a0 Our Scientific Paradigm\u2026. and our Religious Paradigm as well.\n
<\/p> A personalized God based on faith is one that will ALWAYS run into odds with the Reasoning mind.\u00a0 A God that is at the foundational level of existence \u2013 Consciousness or the Universal Energy \u2013 which can be scientifically reasoned is what needs to be explored more.\u00a0 \n
<\/p> Such that when someone looks at the Thunder and Lightening again, his reasoning should not be \"If I can find out the logic behind it, I will disprove God\" but that \"if I can find out the logic behind it, I will know more about the \"God\" that IS everything.\"\u00a0 \n
<\/p> Whether one is an atheist or a person of faith, it does not matter in the end, because if our paradigm remains entrenched in \"Age of Faith\" or \"Age of Reason\", we will end up recreating nature and polluting the planet and the Universe.\u00a0 Unless we change our paradigm to a more holistic one, we would not have any chance of long term survival.\u00a0 Our efforts at Environmental activism, given our current God and Science will at best save another generation or two.\u00a0 Is that what we are negotiating for? \n
